Dark Sun was cool! It's kinda surprising they've never managed to relaunch it successfully. For anyone who never played/saw that one, Dark Sun was basically D&D's response to the cultural impact of the Mad Max films. It dropped about 10 years after the Road Warrior, and in that era where'd just play rotate between the Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, every other weekend on HBO. But like back when "must see tv" pretty much meant the Crypt Keeper heheheh. To futher set the scene, the sourcebook dropped the same year as the album Nevermind, but the vibe was more Minor Threat, or even Bowie mullets from the 70s, which abound in Athas. It's D&Ds Punk setting basically, just sans the modern tech, so road warrior without the cars more or less. Eberron I think was launched to try and capture a similar vibe in the aughts, but it just never caught fire the same way, probably cause it was Eberron and not Dark Sun lol. But for a good 5 years there in 90s though Dark Sun kinda ruled. Larian could probably pull it off, and there are many timely themes in that setting. I'm not sure how you do it without Brom though. Like of all the D&D campaign settings, Dark Sun had the most singular aesthetic and visual style of all them. Like at the very least they'd have get him to paint box cover right? And Baxa to rock some B&Ws for the insets! heheh I could see that.
